Why are people calling Broner-Malignaggi a cherry pick?

[UTEP]

Baby Floyd is gonna have his hands full with Mags. This is a good fight IMO. I got Mags in this one, 8 rounds to 4.

Malignaggi

Rank all of the current title holders/interim title holders from 135-147 in order by degree of difficulty.

If Malignaggi is towards the top, good fight. If not, its a cherry pick.

That's the easiest way to answer your question.

But like I've said before, I'm more interested in what he does after the Paulie fight.

I'm with you saying I want to see what he does after paulie. I'd like him to go to 140 but where does that leave the tourney. And out of that list only 1'of those guys was available to fight

Now, which one of those guys didn't have a fight lined up?

Matthysse and Peterson could have gotten done.

Broner could have been a part of this 140 pound tourney somehow. Instead of making Khan the ultimate prize how about match Khan with Broner and match them up that way?

[richardt]

He's fighting the weakest title holder at welterweight, and passing up much better fights in the process. That's the definition of cherry picking.

He also passed up top Lightweights, top Junior Welterweights, top Welterweights too. The bullsht myth about not having anyone to fight is pure BS. I can name top fighters in 3 divisions he could have fought. When you are fighting a guy who ALL the top fighters in 3 divisions would be favored to beat, that is a cherry pick. He fights Vincent Rodriguez and Pauli, two of the weakest guys he could fight for a title against and passes up the elite fighters. His agenda is obvious.

Now, which one of those guys didn't have a fight lined up?

Almost none of them had a fight lined up when he signed to fight an UNKNOWN Reese last year. He had to pull a guy NO ONE ever saw on National TV instead of the TONS of guys who have Name Value. And that does not change the fact that a handful of those 140 were available before he signed to fight Pauli including Lightweights, Junior Lightweights, and Welterweights. He chose the weakest fighter in THREE divisions!! I might not like the guy but there are people who do and none of us would be able to look down upon his competition if he had fought a solid top fighter instead of cherry picking a title.

It was clear from jump that Schafer intended to make mathysse and Peterson fight once both me won their last fights. Broner, meanwhile was trying to secure a Burns fight after his Rees win. It didn't happen. Could he have fought Khan? Yes. Would team Khan have taken that fight? No. Is that Broner fault? No.

That's a lie. They all had fights lined up, they all fought in the same span against different opponents. Everyone had a fight lined up at the time, that's why Broner couldn't find anyone. Stop revising history. No need to lie because u are obsessed with hating the guy.

[Chuckguy]

Danny Lucas Lamont and khan all had fights lined up. Who said he's not going to 140. And all those guys will be moving up soon

If he goes back down to 140 after this fight and takes on either matthysse or rios or Garcia then I'm cool with it. But I see him saying ****** Shyte like who are they never heard of them and all that mess then he is going to stay at 146 to fight the likes of hard hitting Mathew Hatton and Jose Cottos of the world

Go back and read. Before he signed to fight Reese, there were top 135 pounders and 140 pounders he could have fought but he chose a guy NO ONE has seen on National TV. Pull your head out of your a$$ and you will see I am not the only one complaining. Even his fans have called the fight crap.
